Vicāranā
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage. |
By Swami Harshananda
Vicāranā literally means enquiry.
The enquiry born out of subhecchā that leads the seeker to be inclined towards good conduct is called vicāranā.
